The temple was abandoned throughout centuries and buried under layers of volcanic ash.
The architectural style of temple is classified as Central Javanese. According to Buddhist inscriptions Borobudur was built by kings of Sailendra Dynasty.
The platforms of stupa are decorated with 2.600 relief panels.
The stone panels tell the story of Sudhana, Manohara and Lalitavistara.
The main restoration works were carried between 1973 and 1983. Eight years later Borobududor gained the status of a World Heritage site.
